2015: The Year That (Almost) Nothing Worked in the Market

Interest Rates and Oil
February 2, 2016
The Fed’s primary purpose is to promote economic growth and stability through its “dual mandate” of full employment and low inflation. Inflation has remained below the Fed’s 2% goal for 3-1/2 years and output growth has been slow to recover in the recession’s aftermath. These factors, compounded by global economic uncertainties and world events, have given the Fed ample opportunity to take its time in raising rates. In fairness, there seems to have been little downside to this foot-dragging and perhaps the economy is better off. That’s the wisdom of making an informed decision as a group, the Federal Open Market Committee, rather than just one person.

Correcting the Record on Corrections
October 9, 2015
The second half of August brought an unfriendly reminder of why stocks are generically called “risk assets.” In just four trading days in August, the S&P 500 declined approximately 10%, ultimately notching a low price that was more than 13% below its all time high set in May of this year. A market decline of 10% or more is labeled a “correction,” and U.S. investors just experienced their first correction in more than four years.
